The rapid development and adoption of oral anticancer agents (OAAs) for cancer management have shifted patients' roles from recipient to owner of their care delivery, assuming their responsibilities for self-managing their OAA treatments at home, while the concept of oral anticancer agent self-management (OAA-SM) has not been well clarified and defined.

This study was to clarify the concept of OAA-SM and identify major components, influential factors, and consequences of OAA-SM, as well as propose a representative conceptual model of OAA-SM.

A literature review was conducted concerning the concept and application of OAA-SM. The Walker and Avant method for concept analysis was utilized to guide the examination of OAA-SM.

A small but significant number of children and adolescents with cancer experience severe physical and psychological distress. Previous studies have shown that drawing therapy positively affects relieving psychological problems. However, the effect of drawing therapy on pediatric oncology patients has not been established by systematic review.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of drawing therapy on the pediatric oncology population.

PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Chinese databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and CBM were searched. Studies published in the English and Chinese languages up to December 2019 were screened, and randomized controlled trials and nonrandomized experimental studies of drawing therapy interventions for pediatric oncology patients were reviewed. Screening was undertaken independently by 2 reviewers. The review protocol was registered with PROSPERO (registration number CRD42020178365).

Eight studies were included. Three studies were randomized controlled trials, and 5 studies were nonrandomized experimental studies. Seven studies showed that drawing therapy had positive effects on reducing depression and anxiety and improving quality of life. However, 1 study showed a contradictory result, that is, participants had an increased anxiety level after intervention.

Drawing therapy is effective in improving negative emotions, relieving somatic symptoms, and increasing social communication for pediatric oncology patients.

Drawing therapy may be considered an adjuvant psychological intervention strategy for pediatric oncology patients. Meanwhile, more rigorous studies are needed to address the deficiencies of small number size and methodological weakness.
